  • question_answer
    A thin circular ring of mass M and radius r is rotating about its axis with a constant angular velocity \[\omega \]. Two objects each of mass m are attached gently to the opposite ends of diameter of the ring. The ring will now rotate with an angular velocity:                                  [AIPMT 1998]

    A) \[\frac{\omega \,(M-2\,m)}{(M+2m)}\]

    B) \[\frac{\omega M}{(M+2m)}\]

    C) \[\frac{\omega \,M}{(M+m)}\]

    D) \[\frac{\omega \,(M+2\,m)}{M}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Angular momentum remains conserved in the universe.
                According to conservation of angular momentum
                            \[L=\] constant
    or         \[l\omega =\text{constant}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[{{l}_{1}}{{\omega }_{1}}={{l}_{2}}{{\omega }_{2}}\]
                            Initial moment of inertia
                            \[{{l}_{1}}=M{{R}^{2}}\]
                            and angular velocity
                            \[{{\omega }_{1}}=\omega \]
                Hence,   \[{{l}_{1}}{{\omega }_{1}}=M{{R}^{2}}\omega \]
                When two objects of mass m are attached to opposite ends of a diameter, the final readings are
                            \[{{l}_{2}}=M\,{{R}^{2}}+m\,{{R}^{2}}+m\,{{R}^{2}}\]
                            \[=(M+2m)\,{{R}^{2}}\]
                So,       \[{{l}_{2}}{{\omega }_{2}}=(M+2m){{R}^{2}}{{\omega }_{2}}\]                   ....(iii)
                \[\therefore \]      From Eqs. (i), (ii) and (iii)
                            \[M{{R}^{2}}\,\omega \,=\,(M+2m)\,{{R}^{2}}\,{{\omega }_{2}}\]
                \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{\omega }_{2}}=\frac{\omega M}{M+2m}\]
